As the saying goes, “if you’re not improving, you’re getting worse.” And the San Francisco 49ers would be wise to heed that advice despite their red-hot 5-0 start to the 2019 season.
No team is perfect, and there is plenty of room for improvement for head coach Kyle Shanahan’s squad. Yes, the Niners have both a top-five offense and defense, in terms of points allowed and yardage surrendered per game. San Francisco’s running game has been more than just on point.
And that defense ranks No. 1 against the pass — extremely beneficial in today’s pass-happy NFL.
